Abstract

Mikrostrukturreaktor zur Durchführung mindestens einer chemischen Reaktion zwischen je zwei Reaktanten, umfassend eine erste Passagenfraktion mit Kanälen (1) für eine erste Fluidfraktion, eine zweite Passagenfraktion, umfassend mindestens ein Reaktionsvolumen (4), das über eine Vielzahl von Öffnungen (3) mit der ersten Passagenfraktion in Verbindung steht. Aufgabe ist es, ein Mikrostrukturreaktor vorzuschlagen, der sich besonders für eine zweiphasige Hydrierungen eignet. Die Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, indem das Reaktionsvolumen (4) mit einer Schüttung von Partikeln eines Katalysators aufgefüllt ist.
